If DMX control is being used, connect the base unit to the DMX line (see page
18). If the Digital Remote is being used (optional accessory), connect the remote
to the Remote socket (see page 9).
Final ch ecks
Before applying power to the system, verify the following:
•
the system is safely located or installed and meets the location
requirements stated on page 13
•
the operator is familiar with, and able to comply with, the requirements
for safe operation listed on page 5.
•
the fluid is one of the genuine Martin fluids listed under “Fluid options”
on page 25.
•
the system is electrically grounded (earthed)
•
the AC power distribution circuits and lines are adequately rated for the
current load
Tur ni ng on th e power
Ensure the power switch on each head is turned on. Turn on the main power
switch on the base unit located next to the power inlet. The display will show
HEAT. If the display shows OFF, go to the RUNF menu on the digital control
panel and set the option to CONT. The system will remember its state from when
it was turned off last time, so it will only power up in OFF mode if you have
previously disabled the heaters.
After about 6-8 minutes if no DMX is connected the display should show CONT
and the system will begin producing fog. If the display shows RDY go to the
RUNF menu and set the option to CONT to start fog. If DMX is connected the
display will show DMX when the system is ready.
Each head has a red and green light on the side to indicate heating status:
RED: Heating
GREEN: Ready
Once the Ready light has come on, the head will continue to heat for a time, and
the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature.
The first time you run the system after connecting fluid pipes you
will need to prime the system. See section “
Priming system with
Quick access buttons
” on page 19.
